MySQL AL TABLE reformat field data?
原标题:Will MySQL ALTER TABLE reformat field data?

我需要改变一栏的类型。 如果目前的一栏类型是DECIMAL(8,2),而且我将该栏改为DOUBLE,该栏中已经存在的数据是否也将改变,以反映该栏的新类型?

最佳回答

应当这样做。 然而,在改变现有表格时总是安全。

我倾向于采取这种行动的方式是:

  1. make a backup
  2. create a new column
  3. update all rows moving the old data over to new column
  4. inspect the new column for anything wrong and fix if necessary
  5. delete the old column
